Marijuana legalization movement adds a few more states, including New Jersey | States of America

No one in Latin America refers to each other as Latin X nor do they want you to refer to them as latin X lol
That’s weird. Stop making up names for others. That’s literally what we are supposed to be speaking up against and you’re sitting there doing it? Smh wow
Damn just legalize it everywhere already. Prohibition states must not realize how stupid they look letting those sweet sweet tax dollars go elsewhere. People living in Texas will drive all the way up to Colorado to stock up on weed, then come back down. Happens ALL the time right under the cops noses and they can only catch so many of them. Colorado has a highly efficient public transportation system in Denver and very impressive schools. Texas could use that money to make the same happen there. Over half of Texans support legal cannabis. So it just makes no sense to let money leave the state like that.
It’s discusting that you lump things like heroine in it. Medically people with PTSD and Depression benefit, but as long as you play the villifacation card….illegal grow house dealers with connections to the heroine trade funding the Taliban with wads of cash and guns are in the mix. Meanwhile people who medically benefit with THC v psychotropics from big pharma will end up loosing, but the pharma and illegal trade won’t. Taxing marijuana for the economic benefit is met with slogans like we could make money from (fill in the blank) but every statement protects illegal non taxed dollars. And we know what happens with that money it gets cleaned and distributed for more terrorism and props up the Taliban (heroine).
Legalization of marijuana and nothing else Shreveport Louisiana
Unlike the Hospitals pushing their back steroid injection that hurts your muscles down the road, medical marijuana doesn’t hurt your kidneys nor muscles and helps lower back pain, on top of that as a CPTSD Survivor it’s helped me get up and function not make me gain weight, not make me a shell of myself, not put a cap on my CPTSD which the claimed pharmaceutical drugs psychologists used and hospitals prescribed and does more danger and health issues with them, where as that is not the case with Medical Marijuana, but hospitals are anti-medical marijuana and call you a drug addict and won’t treat you for what you came there for let’s say a sprained ankle, because they’re to busy trying to harass you and say your unfit parent or mentally incompetent unstable drug addict simply because you use Medical Marijuana for back pain and for CPTSD that has showed no side effects. They refuse to acknowledge this and claim it’s a substance narcotics and not see it like a pharmaceutical drug, yet look at opiods epidemic.
Medical Marijuana helps my Asthma and my lower back disc issue it helps my CPTSD night terrors and desensitize. While nothing that was pharmecutical did anything to help me as a CPTSD Survivor now 39 finally moving forward, but hospitals criticism towards you and even threaten and lie about parents who don’t do medical marijuana when pregnant, they wait till baby is born to continue the treatment, and they get attacked by hospitals and called unfit addicts and try to take their kid away. They want to punish anyone who says no to their prescription drugs and will threaten to kick you out if your on medical marijuana because you don’t want to talk to their psychologist when you were there for a shoulder injury not for a mental assessment which the hospitals like Henry Ford and Beaumont try to push, to even refuse you medical perscrisptons for being sick with Tonsillitis or need an Breathing Treatment from Thunder Storm Asthma, you weren’t there for a nervous break down, but they don’t care they try to force this on you and slander you and it’s destructive by hospitals to pull this.
Drop the prices to 20/quarter or we lose the safer choice…Colorado’s "industry leaders" are United in greed and charging 80 for a quarter 450 for an ounce and setting the people against each other….they are scutteling it on purpose…..you need to know…there is no such thing as justice that is not social. .do not take the bait…they are also disarming pocket knives in cannabis shops but not liquor stores to leverage a normalized perception of subservience in the marijuana smoking population…it is wrong…and you need to correct it in order to save the safer choice movement….watch my video titled drinking while driving.
FREE THIS SAFE PLANT ASAP with 0 deaths ever 0 O.D ever safer than a peanut
A bunch more states about to get trashed as a result
Still don’t believe it’s a drug if we’re calling weed a drug then we might as well call tobacco and alcohol a drug.
People who do drugs like Marijuana & Meth..already have Mental Health problems. Legalising saves governments Billions in building Mental Hospitals for them.
Just legalize it everywhere already.
Ughhhh why is New York not moving
faster towards leagalizing weed for us?!?! They don’t want the extra tax money??
Miami need to approve 2020 is krazy
Please come to KY 🌱
If they get caught it should be a 100$ fine or community service at least they can seek help themselves
MDMA and psilocybin should be atop of the list because both have great therapeutical potential.for conditions that lead to other drugs.
Believe it or not, this might be the most important post you’ll read
Everyone of us has broken God’s moral law, the Ten Commandments. We have all lied, stolen, hated and lusted. And James 2:10 states that breaking one of the Commandments makes us guilty of breaking them all. Problem is, we can never outweigh our sins through good works because the Creator is perfect in Holiness, meaning His standard is far above ours. And He is also perfect in Justice, meaning not a single sin will go unpunished. And the punishment of sin is being cast into hell, where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth with no end. Ever.
Fortunately, God is also perfect in love, so 2000 years ago, Jesus Christ left His throne in Heaven and came to this earth as a man. He lived a perfect, sinless life and He so loved us, that He took the punishment of our sin, when He suffered horribly on the cross. Isaiah 53 tells us that his face was marred beyond recognition and that he suffered more than any man. But right before His death, Jesus said "It is finished" meaning the the debt for our sins was paid in full. But on the 3rd day, Jesus conquered death and He was resurrected. So that means now, we can go free from the wrath of God’s judgment not by earning it, but rather as a free gift of grace, if you accept Jesus. But, a gift can either accepted or rejected.
So if you want to accept the free gift or forgiveness, of grace, and of salvation, this is what you should do:
Humbly admit to God that you have sinned against Him, and through gratitude in the sacrifice of His Son, repent (turn away) from your old sinful ways. Then, confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, your Savior. Believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross, was buried, and was resurrected 3 days later. Roman’s 10:9 and 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 says that if you do this you are saved. I’m not telling you to get religious, because Christianity is not a religion, but a relationship with God.
And the moment you do this, God will grant you a new heart, which does not take pleasure in sin and He will give you eternal life. Nothing on this earth even close to compares to what awaits believers.
What you do with this information will determine where you will be for Eternity; meaning accepting Christ is the single most important decision you’ll EVER make. And all of us here, believer or atheist, know that this is very true.
Jesus Christ wants YOU to come to Him this very moment; don’t even think about sleeping until you have accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior, because your tomorrow isn’t guaranteed. You could die at any moment. Hebrews 9: 27 "It is appointed unto man once to die, but after this, the Judgment."
All praise and honor to Jesus Christ, King of kings, Lord of lords.

Back in the 1930s the criminals in corporate businesses tied in with government and big pharma stole and took away our cannabis rights!
Im just sick and tired of having to choose between using weed for my ADHD to be able to act normal and not smoking weed, letting my life being taken over by sleepless nights and constant anxiety, bored out of my mind, but having a decent paying job. I shouldn’t have to choose between my mental health and a good career
Texas should step the hell up. Its time.
We need cannabis legalization in Florida the criminal politicians will not listen to floridians!
Oregon is trying to get high and fly in another galaxy 😂
Y is that recreational not legal in all the states, this is b.s., hypocracy democracy still 😾
The fact that it is a racial issue is a racial statement in and of itself. Just as many white people use it as Mexicans, blacks, etc.
Things are not transparent, because most jobs forbid it and people with jobs are going to be less open with its use. If you have a highly urban, highly black populated, high unemployment area, then yeah- it’s going to look like more people there are using it.
Go to an area with good employment, there may or may not be more white or black people, they’re not going to be as open to disclosing the fact they use it. That’s my area- good employment, good mix of races, yet blacks are more apt to disclose they use marijuana, despite the fact that more white people are using it. More of the higher-education jobs are held by white people here. (It is legal in my state)

Congratulations for the new US President
Fast forward a decade or so. The country’s health system will be inundated with people with lung disease and other chronic respiratory illnesses.
If you’re going to use the drug known as cannabis, do it through edibles.
Happy 420 y’all.
And stay tf away from heroine .
15 state got it down to smoke weed finally free
That guy looks like a dope head
Legalise or decriminalise ❤️ free those imprisoned. Marijuana is not deadly, you cannot overdose, and it does not have anywhere near the same damaging affects as alcohol or cigarettes
Really shitty, lazy reporting. Marijuana and Heroin should NEVER be grouped together. Ridiculous news? What a shock in this day and age.
Don’t get so high you forget to vote
